French PM to meet unions as government prepares for more protests
Lecornu will discuss security with union leaders as authorities prepare a massive police deployment for new demonstrations over rising living costs.
- Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu meets union representatives on Wednesday, October 21, to discuss security, vowing a "massive" police deployment to guarantee the "essential freedom to demonstrate."
- Violent rioting erupted last weekend amid rising living costs, prompting travel advisories from the United States and Germany as the "Yellow Vest" movement and students organized demonstrations.
- Authorities jailed nearly 150 people and brought more than 800 before courts, while far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen called the unrest a "wake-up call" exposing a "profound crisis."
- After President Emmanuel Macron rejected the resignation of Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, lawmakers agreed Tuesday to launch a parliamentary inquiry into the unrest and potential intelligence failures.
- With voters set to elect a successor to Macron in six months, organizers planned additional protests for October 24 and November 5, as investors sold French debt amid spending concerns.
